The millionaire Magnus Martel (Terence Stamp) invites his son Jake (James D'Arcy), the mystic girl Mira (Natasha Wightman) and some scientists to investigate the secret of a treasure called Loculus, where the nails which hold Jesus Christ on the cross would be stored. Magnus indeed belongs to a secret society, and he asks his son to destroy the Loculus. However, another dark secret society, with the leadership of The Grand Master (Udo Kier), tries to retrieve the box with its secrets to develop a child with the DNA of Christ. This movie is a complex story about themes like alchemy, astronomy, mysticism, science, occultism and others. However, maybe due to the running time of only 111 minutes, the story is very confused and the characters are not well developed. I liked it, but I feel that this intriguing story could be better and better. My vote is seven.
